Serbia's students end 12 years of Vucic.

2.2 million votes. The Student List took 52% after protests over a 2024 train station collapse.

⚡ Today in History

On October 26, 1881, Wyatt Earp and “Doc” Holliday fought outlaws at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. The 30-second shootout became the most famous gunfight in American history. In 2001, President George W. Bush signed the Patriot Act 45 days after the September 11 attacks. Today, Serbia’s students have toppled a 12-year leader, Trump is weighing war or a deal with Iran, and Brazil’s presidential race is too close to call.

AI investors should get ready for a BIG surprise

Do you hold any of these AI stocks?

AI investors should get ready for a BIG surprise

Wall Street insider Jason Bodner — the man who called Nvidia at $4.50 — says today’s AI stocks are about to hit a wall.

And a completely different group of AI firms… names Wall Street is starting to ignore… are about to take off.

This has nothing to do with SpaceX…

A new chatbot…

Autonomous robots…

Or anything you’re likely hearing about.

It has to do with a brand-new “light-speed” device turning AI as we know it into “Accelerated AI”…

Making it 100 times faster…

And 100 times more energy efficient — right here, on Earth.

Already, some of the biggest tech investors like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Cathie Wood, and Bill Gates are moving money into it.

Just to name a few…

They’re all moving money to prepare for what’s coming.

But you won’t hear anything about it in the mainstream news…

In fact, TV pundits spent most of this past year talking about AI worries and its “existential risk” to jobs…

Or arguing whether we’re in an AI bubble and when it would pop…

That’s why most Americans won’t see it coming until it’s too late.

Don’t be one of them…

Because if you’re holding the wrong AI stocks when “Accelerated AI” goes mainstream…

You could spend the next decade just trying to claw back to even…

But if you make the one move Jason reveals in this urgent video message…

The next 12 to 24 months could hand you bigger gains than the entire AI boom of the last three years.

Click here to hear the full story and get ahead of the crowd.

But hurry, because this opportunity won’t stay hidden much longer.

P.S. Jason also shares details on 10 popular AI stocks he says you must dump before this shift goes mainstream. Names sitting in millions of 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts. Click here to see if yours made the list.

Walmart, the war in Iran, and a margarita on the beach

Five years from now, there are going to be two types of retirees in America.

One is greeting strangers at Walmart in a blue vest. Not because they want to. Because the war in Iran was the first domino that knocked their retirement sideways and they never saw it coming.

The other is sitting on a beach with a margarita. Not because they got lucky. Because they understood what the Iran war was really about and made one simple move.

Here's what most people are missing.

The war in Iran isn't about nukes. It's about oil being sold in yuan instead of dollars. 

Every barrel that leaves the dollar system makes your savings worth less. And 40 countries are following Iran's lead.

The retiree at Walmart kept everything in the same 401(k) their advisor set up ten years ago. They watched the dollar weaken. They watched inflation eat their savings. They hoped somebody in Washington would fix it. Nobody did.

The retiree on the beach moved a portion of their retirement into the one asset that goes up when the dollar goes down. Took 15 minutes. No taxes. No penalties. And they slept fine while everyone else panicked.

Same starting point. Same savings. One decision made the difference.

A free report called "The Great Gold Reset" shows you exactly what the Iran war means for your dollars, why it's accelerating a shift that was already underway, and the simple move that separates the Walmart greeters from the beach retirees.
